Funding New Games
Reedo writes "RPG Vault has an interesting article about securing funding for new games. The article was put together by Doug Mealy, the President of Online Marketing and Public Relations. It covers points of view from investors, as well as game developers who have succeeded in landing funding. A good read if you're curious about what's involved when trying to get a game funded."
What you need to do is take a good solid demo (that is to say, a game that is basically is beta stage) to a small but professional development house (such as... HDI and see if they wouldn't be interested in helping you finish and publish it.
HDI reviews outside development stuff (not just computer games, but board games too) with an to publishing, so they would be more then happy to give you a fair shake.
Government IS the problem.
